The Ancients were an incredibly intelligent race that possessed powerful magic, however they lacked physical strength. 3,000 years before the events of ''Super Paper Mario'', one of the Ancients circumvented his race's physical limitations by creating the "thinking tools" known as [[Pixl]]s using knowledge gleaned from the prophetic book, the [[Dark Prognosticus]]<ref name="Pixl Origin">Carson's "Creation of the Pixls" story reads: "''A powerful magician among the Ancients created them about 3,000 years ago [by] by transferring a spirit into a vessel''" and his "Pixl Uprising's End" story elaborates that "''The master magician had made [the first Pixl] after studying the Dark Prognosticus.''"</ref>. The Ancients used the Pixls to build great cities and spread their knowledge across many worlds. However, they grew dependent on their living tools, and after 1,000 years of prosperity, they were devastated by the uprising of their Pixls, who had fallen under the control of an entity called the [[Pixl Queen]]. The Pixl Queen had been the first Pixl created, and was horrified at how her fellow Pixls were being used, but her revolution was eventually foiled by the twelve original Pixls (besides herself) and their Ancient partners, all but one of whom perished.<ref>Carson's three "Pixl Uprising" stories outline the uprising of the Pixls.</ref>
